Honey Kisaragi is a regular Catholic schoolgirl, until the day her father is murdered by the "Panther Claw" Organization. After his death, she learns she is actually an android created by him and within her is a device that can "create matter from the air", variously translated as "[atmospheric] element condenser mechanism", "Fixed System of Air Elements", "Airborne Element Solidifier", etc.). With her cry of "Honey Flash!" she can use the device to transform into the sword-wielding red-haired superhero, Cutie Honey. Panther Claw is ruled by Panther Zora, and her younger sibling Sister Jill. The organization hopes to attain "unlimited wealth" and to steal the device within Honey, which would allow them to "create an endless supply of jewels". The series chronicles Honey's quest for revenge against the Panther Claw while attending Saint Chapel School for Girls. Aiding Honey in her quest for revenge is Hayami Danbei and his two sons, Seiji, a newspaper reporter, and Junpei.
